To make things easier, we first subtract the first two
Make them both improper fraction. If there is a whole number, multiply it by the subtrahend's denominator and it will be the basis of the whole numbers denominator
Then move on to the last,
First make the number into mixed
Cross multiply and multiply the denominators
subtract
Then Simplify by dividing numerator by denominator
